The Houston girls also made guest-host appearances on "The Real," a daily talk show led by Adrienne Bailon, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry-Housley on FOX. The women discuss female empowerment and connect with their home audience through topics including relationships, culture and beauty.

February was devoted to "Black HER-Story," and the show brought in successful black women - including Dr. Mae Jemison, Shonda Rhimes, Loretta Lynch and Suzanne Shank - to talk about their achievements. During the first week, Kam and Niya captivated the audience with their maturity and charming responses in the live show held in LA.

The girls were discovered on Instagram when the show's booking agents spotted their own Black History Month video series.

"It was really fun to host and talk about our business and HER-Story," Kam said. "I felt excited instead of nervous."

It was a whirlwind experience, being on television. They had their hair and makeup professionally done and had outfits selected by a stylist. "I felt like a superstar," Niya said.

While their peers are learning multiplication and reading picture books, they have written a cookbook called "Cooking In Style." They enjoy helping their parents in the kitchen, so they combined passions for cooking and writing by picking out recipes- like spaghetti, fettuccine and nachos - that would be great for families and fun for kids.

Not only do they want other kids to see that they can be chefs, they want them to see that they can go after their dreams no matter how old they are. "Kids are never too young to pursue their dreams," Kam said. "They should grow up knowing what they want to do so that they can be confident and happy in the future."

Kam and Niya's moms, Keshla Fuller and Ebony Towns, grew up together, so the girls' lives have always been intertwined. Still, they are pursuing their own paths with Kam in acting and Niya in music and modeling. Kam has been featured in movies such as "Left Behind" with Nicolas Cage and "Bessie" with Queen Latifah. Niya has studied violin since she was 4, and models with the Bailey Agency School of Fashion.

"The arts are very moving," Niya said. "I like the sound, like the high notes on the violin. The arts are very important."

The girls, who say that they never get tired, balance speaking engagements, private lessons and school, but they thrive in a fast pace. Their mothers help them manage time by establishing routines.

Besides encouraging kids to chase after their dreams, Kam and Niya speak up for female empowerment as well. As guest hosts of "The Real," they introduced Jemison, the first black female astronaut in space. Niya gushed about how Jemison's success makes science, technology and math more accessible to girls.

"We want everyone to realize that women are more intelligent," Niya said. "They can do the job well just like men."
